The Golden Age Of Piracy With AC IV: Black Flag

Back when Assassin’s Creed II came out I used to love watching the developer diaries and seeing all the history that was poured into the game. Granted that history was mixed up with a cocktail of creative freedom and Templar vs Assassin intrigue but it was amazing nonetheless. My interest in Assassin’s Creed may have waned in the past few years but I still like the way they re-invigorate the history with their own flavour and in a time period as robust as the golden years of pirating, this seems like a perfect match for the AC writers.

The above dev diary isn’t quite the same as we may be used to but it still discusses the historical setting, the pirate influence in general and names plenty of the big players on the high seas at the time.
